Knows his stuff

Been on many charters and Joe is one of the best I’ve experienced. Knows his stuff and provides an enjoyable experience for everyone. My kids loved every moment. Highly recommend the smaller numbers on the boat. Don’t hesitate to book a charter with Joe. Cheers for a great day.

Terrific

A terrific 5 hours of fishing. After many seafood feasts we are now making fish cakes from the leftovers. Joe and his deckhands were great. We will book it again. Cheers

Quality

What a great day we all had today! Joe’s knowledge and quality of rigs is the closest you can get to being guaranteed to hook a fish. Needless to say today won’t be our last session with Joe!

Thrilled

We did our research and are thrilled we found Joe Farr Fishing Charters. Patrick our seven year old loved every minute of the trip! Lots of humour and loads of snapper, flathead and squid caught. We had a number of delicious BBQs with the catch.

Great fishing trip

Joe and John certainly know where to fish according to the conditions and we came back with a good catch of snapper, whiting, flathead and mackrel. The boat is ideal for a small group and we will be returning for further fishing trips.

Spot on day

We went out over the long weekend in March with Joe and John. Many laughs were had and we certainly caught enough fish to feed us for the weekend and some! I would definitely recommend Joe’s charter to anyone wanting to go for a fish down Sorrento way!

A great way to fish

This is best way to go fishing, just turn up and fish, no stuffing around on the boat ramp, getting bait or wondering where is a good spot to fish.. Joe & John look after gear and ensure that you’ve always got line in the water. You go home with fish ready for the BBQ. I’ll be back

Personalised experience

Thanks for the enjoyable fishing trip with your regulars. I prefer the smaller more personalised experience which you certainly offer.
My brother in law and I enjoyed ourselves and we look forward to eating the Whiting and Calamari this weekend ahead.
Kind regards,

Awesome fishing trip

I booked my husband and his friend on Joe Farr’s Fishing charter. Joe was a really great guy, he took the guys out and caught 60 King George whiting. Highly recommend any keen fisherman to book through Joe Farr. They are very efficient and nice people to deal with. Thanks Emily and Joe.

Superior fishing trip

"I have been out fishing with Joe a large number of times and it just gets better every time. Even when we don’t catch loads the trips are still enjoyable, when we catch loads they are magical. Joes boat is one of the best on charter."

Best of the lot

I have been on a lot of fishing charters in different countries, Joe’s has to be the best of the lot, the boat is comfortable and not over crowded, the gear is in excellent condition and best of all he knows his business, put us right on the fish every time.

Great day on the bay

Very comfortable

"Joe only has small groups which makes fishing very comfortable. Joe as a person is very realistic and calls it as it is with no excuses if things don’t turn out right. He knows the area like the back of his hand and knows the best times, days and areas to go."

Family Fishing

Joe provided a fantastic days fishing for 3 generations of our family. Caught great diversity of fish, a reasonable number, and some of decent size. Service was exceptional, accommodating the needs of the elderly and the young. As an added bonus we were also treated a a few pods of dolphins and a couple of inquisitive seals. Everyone left with a bag full of fish and some great memories. Will be doing the same thing next year with Joe.

Highly recommend

It’s simple with Joe, you get what you pay for and more! He’s one of the best skippers at chasing quality fish that fight hard and eat well. Can highly recommend. Always does his best to make everyone happy and enjoy their trip.

Great morning on the water

There were 4 of us fishing, and we must have caught 80 Whiting fish… Joe knew exactly where to take us to find the good spots. We also caught Calamari!...we cooked up a fish fry for dinner that night and it was amazing.
Joe was great on the boat, explaining.. how the fishing industry works in Mornington.
Definitely recommend the trip, and Joe specifically…

Lots of fish

A very professional, friendly and rewarding experience. My step dad had such a great time, he rebooked and went out again two days later. Both times came home laden with snapper. He said each time he visits he will go out with Joe. A great bloke.

Amazing day out

Amazing day out for myself and some clients from the Middle East.. From the minute we met Joe and his assistant, we were clearly aware we in for a fantastic day.. If you are considering a charter, I would not go out with any other company than Joe Farr Fishing Charters.
